Synthetic Grass and Sports…

Synthetic Grass… A big difference from the 1970’s…

Technology has improved drastically from the synthetic grass of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Now, synthetic grass has been engineered to be sustainable, durable and aid in athletic performance. Fifty years ago, synthetic grass looked fake and felt even worse. Today, synthetic grass has made huge improvements and looks and feels very much like real grass.

Why Synthetic Grass is a great solution for sports fields…

Now a day with the demands that are placed on athletes, the surface that they are performing on is just as crucial to the quality of athletic performance as the athlete’s apparel. Synthetic grass not only meets the standards that traditional turf has set but it also provides diversity and is safer for athletes to perform on. In comparison to traditional grass, synthetic grass helps with traction and also gives the athlete stable footing thus allowing them to reach their maximum speed and performance. In addition, synthetic turf it is incredibly durable and is not weather dependant. Essentially, if necessary, players can perform on synthetic grass in the middle of a downpour without destroying the grass.

As soccer and football programs realize the benefits of synthetic grass, many are ripping up traditional sod in favor of artificial turf. Synthetic turf responds to sports the same way that traditional turf does (without the destruction) but is also a lot safer and is more cost effective.

At Associated Group Remodeling, we use only the highest grade of synthetic turf which will ensure many years of recreational enjoyment. One of the many benefits to synthetic grass is that there is relatively no maintenance. Synthetic grass requires no mowing, watering or fertilizing, for large sports fields, this can be a significant savings.
